Iowa: Feeding the World
It's no secret that Iowa dominates in the global agriculture department, owning the number one position in corn, eggs and pork production and the number two position in soybean production. The state’s nutrient-rich land, low-cost of doing business, excellent transportation infrastructure and quality workforce has attracted nearly a third of the largest 100 food manufacturers to set up operations. In fact, a critical mass of pet food companies and suppliers, including Nestle Purina Petcare Company, Simmons Pet Food, Kemin Nutrisurance and Independence Foods, call Iowa home.
